Mr. Alymer, your way lies yonder," and with a swift gesture she pointed to the window. The major, owing to circumstances heretofore related, was a confirmed bachelor, but he did not intend that his boys should follow so bad an example. He wished Maurice to marry Miss Isabella Dallas, a charming blonde from the West Indies; and David he designed as the husband of Lady Meg Brance, daughter of Lord Seamere. But Jen was mistaken in thinking that he could guide the erratic affections of youth, as will hereafter be proved. Sure enough, the lads fell in love, but both with the same woman, a state of things not anticipated by the major, who was too simple to be a matchmaker. "No, missy, no. You marry, an' ole Dido am berry pleased. But dat yaller-ha'r'd man, I no like him; if he marry you, he take you away. He a fool--a big fool!".

"A proof of his innocence," cried Jen, promptly. "I hope you'll get the chance of going, but I doubt it. However, if you do get as far as the West Indies you'll find friends there." "But I assure you, David, the handkerchief is hers." "No, sir, not till to-day. I don't know what it all means, sir, but I'm sure I know how Dido got into the room.".
